Noise cancelling with no audio playing may be slightly better than old version
Sound quality watching TV show was so-so
Sound quality listening to music was terrible. Really awful.
I did a comparison with a few songs that both IFE had and I had on my iPhone :
- iphone + stock apple ear bud headphones were much, much better quality
I think I will now finally buy some proper headphones to take on the plane, as the stock version is now unusable for music.
Thanks CX...
Had the new headphones again on a HKG-SIN flight.
I retract some of what I said above. The sound for movies / TV is awful too, not even just ok. .
All around, pretty terrible product, and certainly a step backwards from the current offering.
